For quite some time now, Sarah's had long delays on any actions her account tries, including login, simple things like ls, and basically everything but cd. Karl has had an issue where he is instantly booted, where all logs are showing successful logins. The problem spread to Dan for a few days and stopped affecting him. It recently spread to Sam, and now Kyle. It's not an issue of the most recent users, because Pari and Jishnu would have it. I haven't been able to see anything in the logs anywhere showing anything. Quite frustrating.

I've updated the adduser-npg script to actually generate a password. The old way was to use mkpasswd, which I can't find anywhere, not even in source form. Now, adding users works, but the script complains about groups not existing. I've tracked it down to lgroupmod saying the group doesn't exist, even though groupadd says it does, and the ldap database agrees. Perhaps it's an authentication issue with the lgroupmod tool?

Print tracking script (written by Adam Duston) doesn't keep a proper count of the number of pages.
